Doctor Who spinoff The War Between the Land and the Sea
More information has been released about this today, including details of new cast members, and a little bit more about plot. For full details see here.
Leading the series are Russell Tovey and Gugu Mbatha-Raw, though not playing their previous Doctor Who characters of Alonso and Tish. Also present are UNIT's Kate Stewart (Jemma Redgrave) and Colonel Ibrahim (Alexander Devrient). Also returning are Ruth Madeley's UNIT scientific officer Shirley Bingham, and Colin McFarlane's US Army general Austin Pierce from Torchwood: Children of Earth.
The series focuses on how Earth copes when the Doctor is not around (*cough cough* Fourteenth Doctor *cough cough*). And the baddies in this series are the Sea Devils. Who recently appeared in a very poor Jodie Whittaker episode of Doctor Who. But were visually awesome. So fingers crossed for better this time.
Filming is underway, and will continue through to at least December. The series is intended to air on the BBC and iPlayer in the UK, and on Disney+ in the rest of the world.
